## About this plate

THE CAR TRANSIT PLATE. Three things make it unlike anything else in the file and all three are sourced: the ground is VÄRVITU (colourless) rather than white, the symbols are RED, and a hyphen is actually printed and dimensioned. Its smaller sibling D2 loses a digit and 100 mm of width and is a separate series.

## Separators

A HYPHEN IS DRAWN, and dimensioned. Näidis 14 shows "ED-2345" with the separator given its own callouts, 44 mm wide, 11 mm high, sitting in a 25 mm gap between a 151 mm letter field and a 221 mm digit field. This is one of only two Estonian types that print a separator glyph at all, so the pattern spells a literal hyphen rather than a space.
